  4. Log out of the ds2.sp-example.com host machine.

7.2 Enabling Multi-Master Replication of the User Data Instances

This section contains the instructions to enable multi-master replication (MMR) between two Directory Server instances, each configured as a master. This includes creating replication agreements between the masters and initializing the second directory master with the data and schema from the first directory master. The previously created sp-users user data instances will serve as the two master instances. Use the following list of procedures as a checklist for completing the task.

  1. To Enable Multi-Master Replication for User Data Instance on Directory Server 1

  2. To Enable Multi-Master Replication for User Data Instance on Directory Server 2

  3. To Change the Default Replication Manager Password for Each User Data Instance

  4. To Create Replication Agreements for Each User Data Instance

  5. To Initialize the Replication Agreements

  6. To Verify Successful User Data Replication

ProcedureTo Enable Multi-Master Replication for User Data Instance on Directory Server 1

  1. Log in to the ds1.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  2. (Optional) Run dsconf list-suffixes to verify that the user data instance is not already enabled for replication.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin
    # ./dsconf list-suffixes -p 1489 -v
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    ...
    o=spusers.com 	1		not-replicated		N/A		N/A		29	0
    
    The "list-suffixes" operation succeeded on "ds1.sp-example.com:1489"

    The base suffix of the user data instance is not replicated.

  3. Run dsconf enable-repl to enable replication of the user data instance.


    # ./dsconf enable-repl -h ds1.sp-example.com -p 1489 
    -d 11 master o=spusers.com
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    
    Use "dsconf create-repl-agmt" to create replication agreements on
    "o=spusers.com".

    The -d option takes as input a randomly chosen identifier to represent the Directory Server 1 user data instance; in this case, 11 master indicates that the user data instance is a master and not a replica. The base suffix is specified as o=spusers.com.

  4. Run dsconf list-suffixes again to verify that the instance is now enabled for replication.


    # ./dsconf list-suffixes -p 1489 -v
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    ...
    o=siroeusers.com 	1		master(11)		N/A		N/A		29	0
    
    The "list-suffixes" operation succeeded on "ds1.sp-example.com:1489"

    The base suffix of the instance is master(11) indicating that the master was successfully enabled.

  5. Log out of the ds1.sp-example.com host machine.

ProcedureTo Enable Multi-Master Replication for User Data Instance on Directory Server 2

  1. Log in to the ds2.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  2. (Optional) Run dsconf list-suffixes to verify that the user data instance is not already enabled for replication.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin
    # ./dsconf list-suffixes -p 1489 -v
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    ...
    o=spusers.com 	1		not-replicated		N/A		N/A		29	0
    
    The "list-suffixes" operation succeeded on "ds2.sp-example.com:1489"

    The base suffix of the user data instance is not replicated.

  3. Run dsconf enable-repl to enable replication of the user data instance.


    # ./dsconf enable-repl -h ds2.sp-example.com -p 1489 
    -d 22 master o=spusers.com
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    
    Use "dsconf create-repl-agmt" to create replication agreements on
    "o=spusers.com".

    The -d option takes as input a randomly chosen identifier to represent the Directory Server 2 user data instance; in this case, 22 master indicates that the user data instance is a master and not a replica. The base suffix is specified as o=spusers.com.

  4. Run dsconf list-suffixes again to verify that the instance is now enabled for replication.


    # ./dsconf list-suffixes -p 1489 -v
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    ...
    o=spusers.com 	1		master(22)		N/A		N/A		29		0
    
    The "list-suffixes" operation succeeded on "ds2.sp-example.com:1489"

    The base suffix of the instance is master(22) indicating that the master was successfully enabled.

  5. Log out of the ds2.sp-example.com host machine.

ProcedureTo Change the Default Replication Manager Password for Each User Data Instance

The replication manager is the user that data suppliers use to bind to the data consumer when sending replication updates. (In MMR the data consumer refers to whichever master happens to be the consumer for a particular operation.) It is recommended to change the default password created during the process of enabling replication.

  1. Log in to the ds1.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  2. Create a temporary file that contains the new replication manager password.

    This file will be read once, and the password stored for future use.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin
    # echo replmanager > pwd.txt
    
  3. Verify that the file was successfully created.


    # cat pwd.txt
    
    replmanager
  4. Run dsconf set-server-prop to set the replication manager password using pwd.txt as input.


    # ./dsconf set-server-prop -h ds1.sp-example.com -p 1489 
    def-repl-manager-pwd-file:pwd.txt
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    
  5. Remove the pwd.txt file.

  6. Log out of the ds1.sp-example.com host machine.

  7. Log in to the ds2.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  8. Create a temporary file that contains the new replication manager password.

    This file will be read once, and the password stored for future use.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin
    # echo replmanager > pwd.txt
    
  9. Verify that the file was successfully created.


    # cat pwd.txt
    
    replmanager
  10. Run dsconf set-server-prop to set the replication manager password using pwd.txt as input.


    # ./dsconf set-server-prop -h ds2.sp-example.com -p 1489 
    def-repl-manager-pwd-file:pwd.txt
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    
  11. Remove the pwd.txt file.

  12. Log out of the ds2.sp-example.com host machine.

ProcedureTo Create Replication Agreements for Each User Data Instance

A replication agreement is a set of parameters on a supplier that controls how updates are sent to a given consumer. In this deployment, the agreement simply makes the user data instances aware of each other.

  1. Log in to the ds1.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  2. Run dsconf create-repl-agmt to create the replication agreement.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin
    # ./dsconf create-repl-agmt -h ds1.sp-example.com 
     -p 1489 o=spusers.com ds2.sp-example.com:1489
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    
    Use "dsconf init-repl-dest o=spusers.com ds1.sp-example.com:1489" 
    to start replication of "o=spusers.com" data.
  3. Run dsconf list-repl-agmts to verify that the replication agreement was successfully created.


    # ./dsconf list-repl-agmts -p 1489
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    
    o=spusers.com ds2.sp-example.com:1489

    This response indicates that the Directory Server 1 base suffix will be replicated to Directory Server 2.

  4. Log out of the ds1.sp-example.com host machine.

  5. Log in to the ds2.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  6. Run dsconf create-repl-agmt to create the replication agreement.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin
    # ./dsconf create-repl-agmt -h ds2.sp-example.com -p 1489 
    o=spusers.com ds1.sp-example.com:1489
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    
    Use "dsconf init-repl-dest o=spusers.com ds1.sp-example.com:1489" 
    to start replication of "o=spusers.com" data.
  7. Run dsconf list-repl-agmts to verify that the replication agreement was successfully created.


    # ./dsconf list-repl-agmts -p 1489
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    
    o=spusers.com ds1.sp-example.com:1489

    This response indicates that the Directory Server 2 base suffix will be replicated to Directory Server 1.

  8. Log out of the ds2.sp-example.com host machine.

ProcedureTo Initialize the Replication Agreements

Use this procedure to initialize the user data instance on Directory Server 1. The previously created agreements will replicate the data to Directory Server 2.


Note –

Initialization is not required on both instances when configuring for MMR.


  1. Log in to the ds1.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  2. Run dsconf show-repl-agmt-status to verify that the replication agreements have not yet been initialized.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin
    # ./dsconf show-repl-agmt-status -h ds1.sp-example.com 
     -p 1489 o=spusers.com ds2.sp-example.com:1489
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    
    Configuration Status 		: OK
    Authentication Status		: OK
    Initialization Status		: NOT OK
    
    Status:						: Dest. Not Initialized
  3. Run dsconf init-repl-dest to initialize the replication agreements.


    # ./dsconf init-repl-dest -h ds1.sp-example.com 
     -p 1489 o=spusers.com ds2.sp-example.com:1489
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager

ProcedureTo Verify Successful User Data Replication

Before You Begin

This procedure assumes you have just completed To Initialize the Replication Agreements and are still logged into the ds2.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  1. Prepare an LDIF file with the following contents and save it in the /tmp directory as people.ldif.

    dn: ou=People,o=spusers.com
    objectclass: top
    objectclass: organizationalUnit
    ou: People
    description: Container for user entries
  2. Run ldapmodify on the ds1.sp-example.com host machine using people.ldif as input.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin
    # ./ldapmodify -a -h ds1.sp-example.com -p 1489 
    -f /tmp/people.ldif -D cn=Directory Manager,cn=Administrators,cn=config 
    -w dsmanager
    
    adding new entry ou=People,o=spusers.com
  3. After the entry is created, log in to the ds2.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  4. Run ldapsearch on Directory Server 2 to verify that ou=People was successfully replicated.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin
    # ./ldapsearch -b "o=spusers.com" -p 1489 
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w dsmanager 
    "objectclass=organizationalUnit"
    
    version: 1
    dn: ou=People,o=spusers.com
    objectClass: top
    objectClass: organizationalUnit
    ou: People
    description Container for user entries
  5. Now run ldapdelete on Directory Server 2 to delete ou=People.


    # ./ldapdelete -h ds2.sp-example.com -p 1489 
     -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w dsmanager 
    "ou=People,o=spusers.com"
    
  6. Now, as a root user on Directory Server 1, run ldapsearch to verify that the deletion was replicated.


    # ./ldapsearch -b "o=spusers.com" 
    -p 1489 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w dsmanager 
    "objectclass=organizationalUnit"
    

    The search will return no results as the delete was successfully replicated.

  7. Log out of both Directory Server host machines.

7.3 Modifying the Directory Server Schema

This deployment will be used to test SAML v2 communications. Towards this end, modify the LDAP schema used by the Directory Server user data instances on the service provider side to recognize and store SAML v2 attributes.

ProcedureTo Modify the Directory Server LDAP Schema for SAML v2 User Data

  1. Log in to the ds2.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  2. Create an LDIF file with the following information and save it as /tmp/saml.ldif.

    This file includes SAML v2 LDAP attributes.


    dn: CN=schema
    changetype:modify
    add:attributeTypes
    attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.9.1.500

    SUP top AUXILIARY MAY 
    ( sun-fm-saml2-nameid-infokey $ sun-fm-saml2-nameid-info ) 
    X-ORIGIN 'Sun Java System Access Management' )
  3. Run ldapmodify on the ds1.sp-example.com host machine using /tmp/saml.ldif as input.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin
    # ldapmodify -a -h ds2.sp-example.com -p 1489 
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w dsmanager -f /tmp/saml.ldif
    
    modifying entry CN=schema
  4. Log out of the ds1.idp-example.com host machine.

7.4 Enabling Secure Communication for the Directory Server User Data Instances

By default, when an instance of Directory Server is created (in this case, sp-users), its SSL port is secured with a self-signed certificate named defaultCert. A self-signed certificate contains a public and private key; the public key is signed by the private key. The sp-users instances, though, need to use a server certificate signed by a certificate authority (CA) to allow for secure communication between the instances and the soon-to-be-installed user data load balancer. This entails installing the server certificate signed by the CA and the root certificate confirming the signature of the CA on both Directory Server host machines. Use the following list of procedures as a checklist for completing this task.

  1. To Install a Root Certificate and a Server Certificate on Directory Server 1

  2. To Install a Root Certificate and a Server Certificate on Directory Server 2

ProcedureTo Install a Root Certificate and a Server Certificate on Directory Server 1

Before You Begin

You should already have a root certificate from the CA of your choice. Send server certificate requests to the same CA. For more information, see 3.3 Obtaining Secure Socket Layer Certificates.

  1. Log in to the ds1.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  2. Generate a request for a server certificate signed by a CA.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin
    # ./dsadm request-cert -S "CN=ds1.sp-example.com, 
    OU=OpenSSO Enterprise, O=Sun Microsystems, L=Santa Clara 
     ST=California, C=US" -F ascii -o ds-1.csr /var/opt/mps/sp-users
    

    ds-1.csr is the certificate request.

  3. Send ds-1.csr to the CA of your choice.

    The CA issues and returns a certified server certificate named ds-1.cer.

  4. Add ds-1.cer, the CA-signed server certificate, to the certificate store.


    # ./dsadm add-cert /var/opt/mps/sp-users server-cert ds-1.cer
    
  5. Add ca.cer, the CA root certificate, to the certificate store.


    # ./dsadm add-cert --ca /var/opt/mps/sp-users opensslCA ca.cer
    
  6. (Optional) Verify that the CA root certificate was successfully added.


    # ./dsadm list-certs -C /var/opt/mps/sp-users | grep opensslCA
    
    opensslCA
    2008/02/06 00:00  2017/02/06 00:00  n  
    CN=Certificate Manager,OU=opensso,O=Identity,C=US
    Same as issuer
  7. Configure the Directory Server instance to use the imported certificates.


    # ./dsconf set-server-prop -h ds1.sp-example.com 
    -p 1489 ssl-rsa-cert-name:server-cert
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    
    Before setting SSL configuration, export Directory Server data.
    
    Do you want to continue [y/n] ?  y
    
    Directory Server must be restarted for changes to take effect.
  8. Restart the Directory Server instance.

    Directory Server needs to be restarted to use the new certificates.


    # ./dsadm stop /var/opt/mps/sp-users
    
    Directory Server instance '/var/opt/mps/sp-users' stopped
    
    # ./dsadm start /var/opt/mps/sp-users
    
    Directory Server instance '/var/opt/mps/sp-users' started: pid=11591
  9. Run ldapsearch on Directory Server 1 to verify that the directory entries can be accessed through the secure port.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin
    # ./ldapsearch -h ds1.sp-example.com -p 1736 
    -Z -P /var/opt/mps/sp-users/alias/slapd-cert8.db 
    -b "" -s base "(objectclass=*)"
    
    version: 1
    dn:
    objectClass:top
    namingContexts: o=spusers.com
    supportedExtension: 2.16.840.1.113730.3.5.7
    :
    supportedSSLCiphers: SSL-CK_RC4_128_EXPORT40_WITH_MD5
    supportedSSLCiphers: SSL-CK_RC2_128_CBC_EXPORT40_WITH_MD5

    This confirms that the Directory Server instance can be accessed through the secure port.

  10. Log out of the ds1.sp-example.com host machine.

ProcedureTo Install a Root Certificate and a Server Certificate on Directory Server 2

Before You Begin

You should already have a root certificate from the CA of your choice. Send any server certificate requests to the same CA. For more information, see 3.3 Obtaining Secure Socket Layer Certificates.

  1. Log in to the ds2.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  2. Generate a request for a server certificate signed by a CA.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin
    # ./dsadm request-cert -S "CN=ds2.sp-example.com, 
    OU=OpenSSO Enterprise, O=Sun Microsystems, L=Santa Clara 
     ST=California, C=US" -F ascii -o ds-2.csr /var/opt/mps/sp-users
    

    ds-2.csr is the certificate request.

  3. Send ds-2.csr to the CA of your choice.

    The CA issues and returns a certified server certificate named ds-2.cer.

  4. Add ds-2.cer, the CA-signed server certificate, to the certificate store.


    # ./dsadm add-cert /var/opt/mps/sp-users server-cert ds-2.cer
    
  5. Add ca.cer, the CA root certificate, to the certificate store.


    # ./dsadm add-cert --ca /var/opt/mps/sp-users opensslCA ca.cer
    
  6. (Optional) Verify that the CA root certificate was successfully added.


    # ./dsadm list-certs -C /var/opt/mps/sp-users | grep opensslCA
    
    opensslCA
    2008/02/06 00:00  2017/02/06 00:00  n  
    CN=Certificate Manager,OU=opensso,O=Identity,C=us  
    Same as issuer
  7. Configure the Directory Server instance to use the imported certificates.


    # ./dsconf set-server-prop -h ds2.sp-example.com 
    -p 1489 ssl-rsa-cert-name:server-cert
    
    Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
    
    Before setting SSL configuration, export Directory Server data.
    
    Do you want to continue [y/n] ?  y
    
    Directory Server must be restarted for changes to take effect.
  8. Restart the Directory Server instance.

    Directory Server needs to be restarted to use the new certificates.


    # ./dsadm stop /var/opt/mps/sp-users
    
    Directory Server instance '/var/opt/mps/sp-users' stopped
    
    # ./dsadm start /var/opt/mps/sp-users
    
    Directory Server instance '/var/opt/mps/sp-users' started: pid=7311
  9. Run ldapsearch on Directory Server 2 to verify that the directory entries can be accessed through the secure port.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin
    # ./ldapsearch -h ds2.sp-example.com -p 1736 
    -Z -P /var/opt/mps/sp-users/alias/slapd-cert8.db 
    -b "" -s base "(objectclass=*)"
    
    version: 1
    dn:
    objectClass:top
    namingContexts: o=spusers.com
    supportedExtension: 2.16.840.1.113730.3.5.7
    :
    supportedSSLCiphers: SSL-CK_RC4_128_EXPORT40_WITH_MD5
    supportedSSLCiphers: SSL-CK_RC2_128_CBC_EXPORT40_WITH_MD5

    This confirms that the Directory Server instance can be accessed through the secure port.

  10. Log out of the ds2.sp-example.com host machine.

7.5 Configuring the Directory Server Load Balancer

Load Balancer 1 (lb1.sp-example.com) is configured in front of the Directory Server user data instances on the service provider side. This section assumes that you have already installed the load balancer. Before beginning, note the following:

Use the following list of procedures as a checklist for completing the task.

  1. To Import the Root Certificate to the User Data Load Balancer

  2. To Configure Directory Server Load Balancer 1

ProcedureTo Import the Root Certificate to the User Data Load Balancer

Install the CA root certificate on the user data load balancer to ensure that a link between the load balancer can be maintained with the CA. Use the same root certificate that you imported in 7.4 Enabling Secure Communication for the Directory Server User Data Instances. For more information, see 3.3 Obtaining Secure Socket Layer Certificates.

  1. Access https://is-f5.siroe.com, the BIG-IP load balancer login page, in a web browser.

  2. Log in to the load balancer as administrator.

  3. Click Proxies.

  4. Click the Cert-Admin tab.

  5. Click Import.

  6. In the Import Type field, choose Certificate and click Continue.

  7. Click Browse in the Certificate File field on the Install SSL Certificate page.

  8. Choose Browser in the Choose File dialog box.

  9. Navigate to ca.cer and click Open.

  10. Enter opensslCA in the Certificate Identifier field.

  11. Click Install Certificate.

    The Certificate opensslCA page is displayed.

  12. Click Return to Certificate Administration on the Certificate opensslCA page.

    opensslCA, the root certificate, is now included in the Certificate ID list.

ProcedureTo Configure Directory Server Load Balancer 1

Before You Begin

This procedure assumes that you have just completed To Import the Root Certificate to the User Data Load Balancer and are still logged into the load balancer console.

  1. Click Configure your BIG-IP (R) using the Configuration Utility.

  2. Create a Pool.

    A pool contains all the backend server instances.

    1. In the left pane, click Pools.

    2. On the Pools tab, click Add.

    3. In the Add Pool dialog, provide the following information:

      Pool Name

      DirectoryServerSP-UserData-Pool

      Load Balancing Method

      Round Robin

      Resources

      Add the IP address and port number of both Directory Server host machines.


      Note –

      Use port number 1489.


    4. Click Done.

  3. Add a Virtual Server.

    The virtual server presents an address to the outside world and, when users attempt to connect, it would forward the connection to the most appropriate real server.


    Tip –

    If you encounter JavaScriptTM errors or otherwise cannot proceed to create a virtual server, try using Internet Explorer.


    1. In the left frame, click Virtual Servers.

    2. Click Add on the Virtual Servers tab.

    3. In the Add a Virtual Server dialog box, provide the following information:

      Address

      Enter the IP address for lb1.sp-example.com

      Service

      489

    4. Continue to click Next until you reach the Pool Selection dialog box.

    5. Assign DirectoryServerSP-UserData-Pool to the virtual server in the Pool Selection dialog box.

    6. Click Done.

  4. Add Monitors

    Monitors are required for the load balancer to detect the backend server failures.

    1. In the left frame, click Monitors.

    2. Click the Basic Associations tab.

    3. Add an LDAP monitor for the Directory Server 1 node.

      In the Node column, locate the IP address and port number previously entered for Directory Server 1 and select the Add checkbox.

    4. Add an LDAP monitor for the Directory Server 2 node.

      In the Node column, locate the IP address and port number previously entered for Directory Server 2 and select the Add checkbox.

    5. At the top of the Node column, in the drop-down list, choose ldap-tcp.

    6. Click Apply.

  5. Configure the load balancer for simple persistence.

    With simple persistence, all requests sent within a specified interval are processed by the same Directory Server instance, ensuring complete replication of entries. For example, when a request requires information to be written to Directory Server 1, that information must also be replicated to Directory Server 2. As the replication takes time to complete, if a related request is directed by the load balancer to Directory Server 2 during the replication process itself, the request may fail as the entry might only be partially created. When properly configured, simple persistence ensures that both requests are routed to Directory Server 1 and processed in consecutive order; the first request is finished before the second request begins processing. Simple persistence ensures that within the specified interval, no errors or delays occur due to replication time or redirects when retrieving data. Simple persistence tracks connections based only on the client IP address.

    1. In the left frame, click Pools.

    2. Click the name of the pool you want to configure.

      In this example, DirectoryServerSP-UserData-Pool.

    3. Click the Persistence tab.

    4. Under Persistence Type, select Simple.

    5. Enter 300 seconds for the Timeout interval.

    6. Click Apply.

  6. Verify the Directory Server load balancer configuration using the following sub-procedure.

    1. Log in as a root user on each Directory Server host machine.

    2. On each host machine, use the tail command to monitor the Directory Server access log.


      # cd /var/opt/mps/sp-users/logs
      # tail -f access
      

      You should see connections to the load balancer IP address opening and closing. For example:

      [12/July/2008:13:10:20-0700] conn=69755 op=-1 msgId=-1 - closed 
      [12/July/2008:13:10:25-0700] conn=69756 op=-1 msgId=-1 
      - fd=27 slot=27 LDAP connection from IP_address to IP_address
      [12/July/2008:13:10:25-0700] conn=69756 op=0 msgId=0 
      - RESULT err=80 tag=120 nentries=0 etime=0 
      [12/July/2008:13:10:25-0700] conn=69756 op=-1 msgId=-1 
      - closing from IP_address
      
    3. Execute the following LDAP search against the Directory Server load balancer from Directory Server 1.


      # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin
      # ./ldapsearch -h lb1.sp-example.com -p 489 -Z 
      -P /var/opt/mps/sp-users/alias/slapd-cert8.db
      -b "o=spusers.com" -D "cn=directory manager" 
      -w dsmanager "(objectclass=*)"
      
      version: 1
      dn: o=spusers.com
      objectClass: top
      objectClass: organization
      o: spusers.com

      Make sure the returned entries display in the access log on only one Directory Server host machine.

    4. Run dsadm stop to stop Directory Server 1.


      # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin
      # ./dsadm stop /var/opt/mps/sp-users
      
    5. Perform the (same) LDAP search against the Directory Server load balancer from Directory Server 2.


      # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin
      # ./ldapsearch -h lb1.sp-example.com -p 489 -Z 
      -P /var/opt/mps/sp-users/alias/slapd-cert8.db
      -b "o=spusers.com" -D "cn=directory manager" 
      -w dsmanager "(objectclass=*)"
      
      version: 1
      dn: o=spusers.com
      objectClass: top
      objectClass: organization
      o: spusers.com

      Make sure the returned entries display in the access log on only Directory Server 2.


      Note –

      You may encounter the following error message:

      ldap_simple_bind: Cant' connect to the LDAP 
      server — Connection refused

      This means that the load balancer may not fully detect that Directory Server 1 is stopped. In this case, you may have started the search too soon based on the polling interval setting. For example, if the polling interval is set to 10 seconds, you should wait ten seconds to start the search. You can reset the timeout properties to a lower value using the load balancer console.

      1. Click the Monitors tab.

      2. Click the ldap-tcp monitor name.

      3. In the Interval field, set the value to 5.

        This tells the load balancer to poll the server every 5 seconds.

      4. In the Timeout field, set the value to 16.

      5. Click Apply and repeat the LDAP search.

      See your load balancer documentation for more information on the timeout property.


    6. Start Directory Server 1.


      # ./dsadm start /var/opt/mps/sp-users
      
    7. Stop Directory Server 2.


      # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin
      # ./dsadm stop /var/opt/mps/sp-users
      
    8. Perform the (same) LDAP search against the Directory Server load balancer from Directory Server 1 to confirm that the request is forwarded to the running Directory Server 1.


      # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin
       ./ldapsearch -h lb1.sp-example.com -p 489 -Z 
      -P /var/opt/mps/am-users/alias/slapd-cert8.db
      -b "o=spusers.com" -D "cn=directory manager" 
      -w dsmanager "(objectclass=*)"
      
      version: 1
      dn: o=spusers.com
      objectClass: top
      objectClass: organization
      o: spusers.com

      Make sure the returned entries display in the access log on only Directory Server 1.

    9. Start Directory Server 2.


      # ./dsadm start /var/opt/mps/sp-users
      
    10. Log out of both Directory Server host machines and the load balancer console.

7.6 Creating a Test User

Create a user entry in the replicated Directory Server user data instances for spuser.


Note –

If you are using an existing user data store, create the appropriate users in it and move on to Chapter 9, Configuring OpenSSO Enterprise Realms for User Authentication.


ProcedureTo Import Test User Data into the Replicated Directory Server Instances

Create an LDIF file for the test user and import the file into ds1.sp-example.com. The test user data will then be replicated to ds2.sp-example.com.

  1. Log in to the ds1.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

  2. Create an LDIF file with the following entries.

    dn: ou=users,o=spusers.com
    objectclass: top
    objectclass: organizationalUnit
    ou: users
    description: Container for user entries
    
    dn: ou=Groups,o=spusers.com
    objectClass: top
    objectClass: organizationalUnit
    ou: Groups

  3. Save the file as sp-users.ldif in the /tmp directory.

  4. Import the LDIF file into Directory Server 1 using ldapmodify.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin
    # ./ldapmodify -h ds1.sp-example.com -p 1489 
     -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w dsmanager 
     -a -f /tmp/sp-users.ldif
    
    adding new entry ou=users,o=spusers.com
    
    adding new entry ou=Groups,o=spusers.com
    
    adding new entry uid=spuser,ou=users,o=spusers.com
  5. Verify that the new users were imported using ldapsearch.


    # ./ldapsearch -h ds1.sp-example.com
     -b "o=spusers.com" -p 1489 -D "cn=Directory Manager"
     -w dsmanager "uid=spuser"
    
    version: 1
    dn: uid=spuser,ou=users,o=spusers.com
    uid: spuser
    givenName: sp
    objectClass: top
    objectClass: person
    objectClass: organizationalPerson
    objectClass: inetadmin
    objectClass: inetorgperson

    cn: sp user
    userPassword: 
     {SSHA}H5LpB+QLZMoL9SiXzY/DokHKXRclELVy7w25AA==
    inetUserStatus: Active
  6. Log out of the ds1.sp-example.com host machine.

  7. (Optional) Verify that the entries were replicated to Directory Server 2 by logging in as a root user to the ds2.idp-example.com host machine and using ldapsearch.


    # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin
    # ./ldapsearch -h ds2.sp-example.com
     -b "o=spusers.com" -p 1489 -D "cn=Directory Manager"
     -w dsmanager ""
